Jonathan Volzke, The Capistrano
Dispatch "From the beginning,
[Mayor] Hart – who called the special meeting –
said the council wouldn’t get into the allegations
by recall proponents about financial
mismanagement. His view: recalls are for
malfeasance or misfeasance and since no one
challenged the trustees in the last election, they
have a “mandate” from voters. He didn’t mention
that [Councilmembers] Soto and Allevato received
the same “mandate” in the last election, and that
he and [Councilmember] Swerdlin received a similar
pass from voters in 1998. It might be comforting
for politicians to believe they’re unchallenged
because everybody’s happy, but the reality likely
has more to do with time and money."
Reaction
to San Juan Capistrano City Council's resolution
opposing a recall of the CUSD Board of Trustees.
